Error while running yo @microsoft/azure-devops-extension

[pravula]

I keep getting the following error when running the yo @microsoft/azure-devops-extension. I have already run the two commands prior to running the yo command and have Node.js installed on my machine.

npm install -g yo npm install -g @microsoft/generator-azure-devops-extension

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir 'C:\Users\abc\azure-devops-extension-yeoman-generator-master\azure-devops-extension-yeoman-generator-master\xyz_gitignore'

Yeah, same here.

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir 'C:\Users\joshl\thus\_gitignore'

I did try creating a thus\_gitignore folder and got

Trying to copy from a source that does not exist: C:\Users\joshl\thus\_gitignore

Which was interesting to say the least

Hi, I'm hitting the same error too. anyone knows a working workaround? Thanks.

update: able to run the generator after downloading the source code to my local machine and run it locally.

run command:

1. npm link
2. yo @microsoft/azure-devops-extension
